If you can bear to work in metric... Power = Force x Velocity Force = Mass x Acceleration. So, Max Power = Max Accel (m/s2) * Max Velocity (m/s) * Mass (kg) Watts -- atp If you can't fix it, you don't own it. http://www.ifixit.com/Manifesto ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Monitor Your Dynamic Infrastructure at Any Scale With Datadog!
